Fundraiser for police officer’s daughter

The San Francisco Police Department is helping to publicize a fundraiser being held Dec. 29 for the daughter of Sgt. Darren Choy, who works out of Northern Station.

Choy’s daughter, 6-year-old Adriana, has thin bones that have led to recurring fractures, as well as severe scoliosis that has led to chronic restrictive lung disease.

“Essentially her lungs are being crushed,” the department’s public affairs office said in a written release. “She is unable to take a normal breath, thus her breathing is very labored and her endurance is limited. Adriana is short in stature and has limited movement of upper and lower extremities. … Everytime she has a cold, it turns into pnemonia and/or a collapsed lung.”

The funds will be used for medical bills and for training of service dog.

The event will take place on. Dec. 29 at Jillians on 4th Street from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m.
